PRAIRIE-FARMERISMS.

It's not very difficult to breed fine
horse, but it is to breed his exact match.
Farmers should pay more attention to
breeding horses that have good feet and
legs. Sound feet and legs count more
than mere weight. IF horse is in
clined to lung troubles, be careful not
to feed musty hay. 1t had better be
allowed to run on grass at night during
the summer, as it will be less liable to
permanent injury. Sheaf oats or clean
oat straw, are better for such horses
than hay. Grasses and clovers for pas
turage and hay; silagc crops and beets
for green feed in winter; more oats and
nitrogehous bye folders for balancing
the winter food ration; better blood;
better management and care, are some
Of the things that are making stock
raising profitable. Grading up with
anything but thoroughbred sires is very
slow work. The horse by whose side a
colt is to be broken should have the ac-
tion desired in the colt. IF he is to be
a road horse, the one he is broken with
should be good, straightforward goer.
If the colt is to be used for heavy work,
his mate should be good walker, and
should pull steadily at loads.
All male pigs from early filters that
are not to be kept for breeding purpo-
ses should be trimmed soon. It is bet
ter to trim them before hot weather
and flies come than to wait until the
cool days of fall. It is done with
greater ease and with less danger while
the pigs are few weeks old. IF the
hogs have no pasture to run in, they
should be given plenty Of fresh-cut
grass, weeds, oats, corn or anything
else they like.
If a farmer is getting only 10 to Is
cents for his butter he has the best ex-
euse in the world for putting plenty Of
fresh milk into the calves, and to skim
all milk while yet sweet for pigs. l

THE SO-CALLED HORN
SNAKE.

CASTOR, in a curious book entitled
Hist. Nat. Serpentibus, published in En-
Gland in 1853, says: I'm America are
found asps with stings in their tails,
wherewith they strike aud kill" To
the present day there are people IN
America who firmly believe in the ex-
istence of deadly horn or hoop snake
Only last summer, Philadelphia daily
paper, noted for its viracity, published
clipping from Virgin la paper, stating
that in certain locality in said state
the horn snakes were so numerous as to
be destructive to young oak trees. The
account says the snakes Gin mere play l
suppose) rolled hoop-like down the hill
and stuck their poison-horued tails into
the trunks of the trees, and "a witness >
observed that the leaves upon the trees
thus stung would wlther and turn brown
in two hours, and the trees themselves
were completely destroyed.
It is to be deplored that 'witness"
neglected to secure and preserve speci-
mems of such rare ophidians-serpents
injurious to vegetation. He would GER
tainly have made himself both fam GUS
and wealthy.
Wasps, bees and scorpions have a
sting or lancet like instrument at the
end of the abdomen or tail, generally
furnished with a poison duct; but SER
penis have venom weapons in the form
of teeth only, never in any other situa-
ton. The so-caIled venomous horn and
hoop snake never existed in America or
any other country. They are impossi-
billities and myths Scientific Amer
lean.
Prof. Robert Hay, U. S. c. S., says:
'In this gas question, as in others,
Kansas is the central state. The geol-
Ogy of her eastern borders touches that
of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Her western
limits include shales and sand stones
allay her to the oil and gas deposits of
Wyoming Her western counties may
yet find in natural gas native fuel"

A RAILWAY AUTOCRAT.

The position of Thomas J. Pot
ter, manager Of the Union Pacific
property, is without a parallel ii
the country. He is to-day the auto
crat in the management of nearly
six thousand miles of railway, and
was selected as the one man among
the great railroaders of the country
into whose hands it was considered
safe to trust the great responsible
ties. 1t will be a matter of news to
many to know that Mr.. Potter, per.
sonally, is the link between the
Oregon Railway & Navigation and
Union Pacific companies. Through
him the lease was effected. The
Union Pacific asked congress at the
last session for authority to take
leases but was refused. The Oregon
company was not willing to lease
the Oregon Short Line, backed even
by the moral guaranty of the Union
Pacific; SO there was no way OF
making binding lease between the
two companies. The one desired
to give and the other to take a
lease, and finally Mr.. Potter was
prevailed upon to leave the man
agement of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy and take the Office OF
mediator between the companies
The o. K. Il N. Co. then leased the
property for three years to Mr.
Potter in trust for the Oregon Short
Line, and provision was made for
a successor to Mr.. Potter in case OF
his death or disability. At the same
time he was made manager of the
Oregon and Union Pacific systems
Officially he is vice-president of
both companies. He is to operate
the o. r. e. N. so that it will earn
the six per cent per annum guar
anteed by the lessee, and he is to
pay the guarantee to the lessor.
He is to decide all matters in dis
pute which may arise between the
companies, and there is no appeal
from his decision. In addition to
his Office of intermediator, Mr.. Pot
ter, for three years, will be at the
head of the entire Union Pacific
system, having on last Saturday
been elected as manager of the af-
fairs of the o. r. & N. Co., vice c..
II. Prescott, resigned.

England is paying the passage Of
her paupers to the United States in
order to get rid of them, while
Italy and other foreign countries
are likewise getting rid of an unde-
sirable class of population. 1t is
time some decisive steps be taken
to prevent the landing of these
Paupers and representatives of the
criminal element of other countries.
Even idiots and insane people are
being sent to the hospitable shores
of America. So alarming has this
class Of immigration increased that
the government is making inquiries
into the matters, but before decisive
action is taken thousands will have
arrived.

1t is stated that United States Senate

1t may be that the visit of Sena
tor Stewart will be incidentally con
nected with mining affairs, but hi

be to talk up annexation. He is ex
pected here shortly, and has statec
the object of his proposed visit te
be to further the interests of hi.
great scheme. That he is thorough
ly in earnest in carrying out the
project of dividing up Idaho Ter
ritOfy there can be no doubt. /
there is to be any united effort made
to oppose annexation of Southern
Idaho. to Nevada it is time tho
proper steps should be taken. L
no resistance is made, annexation
will surely follow, and as it is il
will require an energetic opposition
to defeat the measure. The action
Of President Cleveland in vetoing
the segregation of the Territory
should not be considered any pre-.
cedent for the future in case Senator
Stewards bill passes congress and
is placed in his hands for executive
action. Those who are anxious to
be in politics, particularly the seek
ers Of the political loaves and fishes,
take kindly to the annexation move
ment. but there are many others
who are opposed to it. Delegate
Dubois will oppose the passage of
Senator Stewards bill, but realizes
that he will have a hard fight upon
his hands in doing so, with the
chances Of success against him.
He is strongly in favor of preserv-
ing the individuality of Idaho in
tact, feeling confident that in its
rapid growth, great development
and brilliant future, it will not be
long before the territory will con-
tain the requisite population to en-
ter into the great family of states
Just at the commencement Of an
era of prosperity. it would be unfair
to attach Idaho to state that is
surely drifting into decay, and such
is the condition of Nevada to-day.
If there be no chance to defeat the
bill so far as it may
effect Idaho, it should at least be
left to the ratification of the voters
of Southern Idaho before becoming
a law. There would certainly be
no injustice in this, and if the
of the people express
themselves in favor of annexation
to Nevada, the people directly in
terested in the matter will alone be
responsible for blotting the Seem
Of the Mountains" from the map of
our country.

companies will have to act under
their own judgment in interpreting
the fourth section of the act, and
will be held accountable in case OF
any violation of the same. This
probably means that the courts will
be resorted to and an effort made
by the companies to have the law
